"The Great Dao is endless. I went deep into Gold Mountain, yet this little bit of gold was all I could gather!"

After all, cultivation had never been a matter of gaining sudden enlightenment one morning and ascending to heaven in a single step.
He still needed to grind away at it, catching up bit by bit.
